Wedding hog roast in Abingdon-on-Thames
How our wedding hog roast works in Abingdon-on-Thames
A hog roast is made for marquee, barn and garden weddings near Abingdon-on-Thames. We cook outside, under cover, and the food is served in the marquee or barn. Typical bookings include second-day get-togethers and home weddings, with crackling, new potatoes and halloumi skewers.
Couples in Abingdon-on-Thames often keep it personal, with a marquee or a local hall. Carved roast pork suits that kind of day. We bring the roaster, the cover and everything we need to cook and serve, and we leave the spot tidy when we go.
